Astacio allegedly tried to purchase a shotgun at Dick's Sporting Goods in Henrietta, but was turned away by store employees, according to court paperwork. Sheriff Todd Baxter said Astacio tried to buy a shotgun at Dick's Sporting Goods at The Mall at Greece Ridge before going to Henrietta.

She was arraigned on three new probation charges last week — two related to her alleged attempt a shotgun and the third for not complying with required mental health treatment.

Astacio was elected to a 10-year term that runs through 2024. She was sentenced to three years of probation in October 2016 after after she found guilty of misdemeanor driving while intoxicated. She was charged in February 2016 after a state trooper found her car broken down on the side of Interstate 490.

Astacio was suspended with pay effective immediately, the state Court of Appeals announced on April 11.

The terms of Astacio's probation prohibit her from "possessing a firearm, dangerous weapon, or noxious substance." Astacio was arrested and charged on April 10.

Dick's company policy states that employees reserve the right to refuse to sell a gun to anyone. If a denial is issued, that extends to all Dick's stores.

Astacio identified herself to a store employee with her state-issued driver's license, and she tried to purchase a Maverick 88 .12-gauge shotgun, according to the felony complaint.

She seemed "very distraught and upset," the Dick's assistant store manager said in a statement to deputies.

Astacio hasn't presided over a case since her drunken driving arrest in February 2016. She was assigned to administrative duties by local supervising judges, but she hasn't shown up for work since last August.
